Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Beyond the destructive/non-idempotent annotations, the description discloses critical behavior: it uses the caller's connection credential, reports per-service outcomes, rejects false success on failed imports, and warns not to ship an app whose required service failed. It also names the failure diagnostics returned by the platform.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is front-loaded with the action and purpose, then adds the important failure semantics and next step in a compact paragraph. Every sentence contributes operational guidance for a destructive import tool.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a two-parameter destructive tool with no output schema, the description covers purpose, credential source, failure reporting, required-service safety, and the follow-up configuration step. Nothing essential for correct invocation and post-import handling appears missing.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, and the schema already explains both project_uuid and service_ids with examples and source tools. The description reinforces the service ID examples and prerequisite source but does not add parameter-level meaning beyond what the schema provides.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description states a specific verb and resource: importing platform services into a project, with concrete examples such as 'workflows', 'email', and 'stripe_checkout'. It also explains the outcome so the app can call those services and run event-bound workflows, making the purpose distinct from setup/configuration siblings.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

It clearly positions the tool in a workflow by saying to use build_configure_services afterward to set keys. It also implies the prerequisite that service IDs come from build_list_capabilities via the schema, but it does not give explicit when-not-to-use guidance or compare all relevant alternatives.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
